Project Description

Create a hand-lettered illustration inspired by your favorite animal.

ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to incorporate illustration into your hand-lettering resulting in a piece inspired by your favorite animal. By going through this process you’ll learn how to develop a concept that pushes your illustration and lettering style forward.

Get started by choosing an illustration approach:

illustrations alongside typography

letters taking the form of objects

subtle motifs throughout letterforms

Next, you’ll take your illustration approach and focus in on an overall concept for your piece. You can:

letter the name of your animal

letter a quote about your animal

letter a drop cap (such as the first initial of your animal)

DELIVERABLE

Post your progress in the project gallery to get feedback from fellow students. A final project includes:

animal of your choice (name/images)

brainstorm images

reference material

thumbnail concepts

revised final sketches

final vectorized and colored design (optional)

Be sure to post each image as you complete it, sharing your progress and getting valuable feedback as you move ahead with your project.
